Ports Plan Shore Power — Who Pays for Mallorca's Clean Ferries?

Answer

What are the main challenges for shore power in Mallorca?

The biggest challenges are funding, technical standardisation, and the strain on the local grid if several ships plug in at once. There is also the question of how to make sure the electricity is actually clean, not just shifted from the ship to the power plant. Mallorca will need coordinated planning if the system is to work beyond a few test projects.
